Amy Helm - What the Flood Leaves Behind
Amy Helm - What the Flood Leaves Behind
Singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist Amy Helm's third album, What The Flood Leaves Behind, is her most autobiographical yet, both in content and creation. The album marks a landing - a pause for the traveling musician and mother of two young boys who was seeking clarity in her calling and career. After making multiple albums and performing in far-flung places, Helm returned home to Woodstock's Levon Helm Studios just before the pandemic to record What The Flood Leaves Behind and reclaim a sense of self. An impressive group of friends and collaborators joins Helm: musical polyglot Josh Kaufman (whose credits range from Taylor Swift's Folklore to the Grammy-nominated Bonny Light Horseman and Bob Weir) producing and contributing on piano, guitar, and mandolin, the record brings Helm's powerful, emotive vocals to the forefront of the album.
